Ratings and reviews

I actually purchased this book. This game has unique stats. It also has different stories embedded in the narrative that Change based upon your background. I counted four different stories and I personally found five different endings as well. The story is a bit short and the game resolves itself quickly. Decent narrative and excellent world building. It does make me feel like an Anthropologist in South America trying to stay alive. It was a decent read. What happened to the chicken though?

I was really disappointed when I played through this story. I'm a big fan of choice games, and I've really enjoyed a number of stories made by this developer. On paper, this would've been a great game - an Indiana Jones adventure but you make the choices. But this comes off as a rushed story that doesn't give you great detail. Also, the writing in this one is very mean spirited and a general sense of someone writing without interest or passion. Pretty disappointing, hopefully they rewrite this

Like the book over all but the story could have been better because the book was to short to develop a proper story if I was an option I would leave 3.5 star's.
